North Shore CMA Gibbs Farm fundraiser
Dear CMA supporters
CMA have managed to gain a fundraising opportunity to access the famous Gibbs Farm on Friday 23rd March between the hours of 10 and 2pm.
Gibbs Farm, is an open-air sculpture park located in Kaipara Harbour, 47 kilometres (29 mi) north of Auckland. It contains the largest collection of large-scale outdoor sculptures in New Zealand. It is the private art collection of New Zealand businessman Alan Gibbs. Gibbs has collected major artworks by many world-renowned artists from New Zealand and overseas. Much of the artwork is commissioned and, as such, incorporates elements of the landscape into the artwork.[The farm also includes several exotic animals such as emus and giraffes.
